St. Julian of Norwich
how can we speak our prayer?
begin in the emptiness
then explore layer upon layer
the emptiness is a space to fill
being in silence, ever so still
we are greeted by the gift of our free-will
and from this place we can begin
to enter into prayer and slowly let in
the grace and beauty of a heaven that’s here
co-creating with God’s love to steer
our course, our journey beyond all fear
to a place of peace, then to speak and hear
and sing with joy that the gift of prayer
ignites our role as a creative player
in what’s being built, layer upon layer
a pearl of love – we cannot weigh her
for the expansion is continuous
the growth immense
the power of love overpowering each fence
uniting neighbours, lightening the dense
growing and sowing a new way to live
wanting to be love and simply give
with kindness and gentleness
and gratitude too
every prayer from me is a prayer for you
a recipe that can be improved, that is the truth
by adding more love, it is fail proof
